@hayhor Die to? It's hard to full kill an ant across the map with an AR anyway. But how much dmg and supressing fire can it do. I constantly force everyone to pop bats and thus take them out of the game. When I stand on B and shoot at someone who's 30-30'ing on C, I just make him go away to heal for some time, not necessarily shoot at him to full kill him. With a Flatline I will most likely not make someone at 100-150m go away.
But I guess we just play completely different games. In my games R301 combined with a good close-range gun is usually better than a Flatline/whatever gun.
